How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Liss
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, with hot food for visitors in the cold. Whether it is family Christmas get-togethers and christmas customer days, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, mushy peas and pie and chips and more.
At a festive party in Liss, the van on the drive goes down well on a dark December evening. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Put allergy details in writing
- Check the van can park on site
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
Park the van close to the door.
Christmas music near the van sets the mood.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A cold buffet doesn’t feel festive. Hot fish and chips is. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What you get with us
- Something for guests to gather round
- Quick service from the hatch

Planning a Christmas party in Liss
Liss is about 3 miles north-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. We serve Christmas parties at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Liss and the surrounding area. Liss is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Liss to Guildford (20 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like Liss Infant School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. For colleagues travelling by train, Liss has its own station, Liss station. Liss is within about 4 miles of the South Downs National Park; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
This part of Hampshire takes in GU33. We can serve a Christmas party on streets such as Station Road, Shotterfield Terrace and Greenfields or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. Neighbouring places where we serve Christmas parties include West Liss (1 mile south-west), The Mint (1 mile north-east), Liss Forest (1 mile north), Hill Brow (1 mile south-east) and Durford Wood (1 mile south).

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
